There is a story in the Quran that reminds me a lot with the situation of standing against the immigration of people lesser in economical status, people who want to live outside.
The story is told by God, and it goes:
The story tells the tale of 3 people who owned a garden. They didn't want to share the fruits of their garden with the poor, wanting to close "the borders" of their garden in the face of poor people. But a disaster hit their garden, ruined it in their sleep.
I want to ask a question now: for the "anti-immigration bunch"; doesn't this story make you scared?
What if your "garden" burned for any reason? didn't we see similar scenarios with Rome, for example?
The beginning of the fall was always an attempt from the "locals" to prevent the poor from going into the garden. and eventually the garden is destroyed altogether, and the survivors would cry and say "O woe to us, we were transgressors !"
"New Romans" said so, but Trump is now playing the same disgusting role of the "garden's owners" in the story above.
Don't seal your garden. share its fruit.
Learn from history.
And thanks to everybody who saw through it, and knew the right thing to do.

Sura 68, The Quran:
Sahih International
(17) Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
(18) Without making exception.
(19) So there came upon the garden an affliction from your Lord while they were asleep.
(20) And it became as though reaped.
(21) And they called one another at morning,
(22) [Saying], "Go early to your crop if you would cut the fruit."
(23) So they set out, while lowering their voices,
(24) [Saying], "There will surely not enter it today upon you [any] poor person."
(25) And they went early in determination, [assuming themselves] able.
(25) But when they saw it, they said, "Indeed, we are lost;
(26) Rather, we have been deprived."
(27) The most moderate of them said, "Did I not say to you, 'Why do you not exalt [ Allah ]?' "
(28) They said, "Exalted is our Lord! Indeed, we were wrongdoers."
(29) Then they approached one another, blaming each other.
(30) They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
(31) Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
(32) Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.
